IOGEAR Universal Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter - Speeds of up to 300Mbps on 2.4GHz - Push-button Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) - Supports WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP and AES encryption - GWU637

I have been looking for one of these for a while and this device was perfect!.. originally looking for a way to connect my VOIP phone to a wireless router but then i was given a printer that did not have wifi so i pulled the trigger on this immediately and it worked out great!two ways to setup the device (push button) but i did manual setup which was super easy.- Turn off wifi, set ethernet adapter to the same range as the device (192.168.1.254 so use 253)- open web browser (i used safari on my mac) and point to the device in the address field- go to "Search" to find your SSID Wireless network- supply the password to join and save the config.- device restarts and then it can be used whereverI plugged it into the enternet port of the hp laserjet and then was able to find the printer and get on its management page as well.Easy Peasy! Highly recommend this device

Initially when I obtained my Tivo Premier Series 4 DVR, I relied on the TiVo AGO100 WiFi to USB adapter. It was slow and became useless when streaming came onto the scene. Probably because it interfaces with a USB 2 port. I then upgraded the TiVo Internet service to utilize a Lincsys (Cisco) PLE500 power line Ethernet adapter. One adapter was connected to an Asus RT-N66 router via Ethernet and the other adapter connected to the Tivo also via Ethernet. Since I have two TiVo’s, a total of three power line adapters were needed. Eventually I noticed that the Lincsys PLE500 power line Ethernet adapters started slowing down after about three years in service. I then replaced them with spares I had on hand and with that the speed was restored. I not sure how long the PLE500’s would be available.I started to investigate WiFi to Ethernet adapters and tried a TP-Link RE105, it did not work very well, it kept interfering with the other devices on the network. It could be that it’s a range extender and there isn’t a way to disable it.It became very difficult to find a driverless WiFi to Ethernet adapter until I stumbled upon the IOGear GWU637. The setup was very easy, just plug it into the Ethernet port on the PC, follow the instructions to access your wireless network. Be sure to turn off the WiFi on the PC while configuring the GWU637. I use wireless MAC address filtering on my router for extra security and the GWU637 has the WiFi MAC address printed on the side of the device near the serial number, that’s a plus. After configuration, I then connected the device to the USB port for power and the Ethernet port on the TiVo Series 4 DVR. Next I checked the Settings > Network > View network status and Voilà it showed the Wired Ethernet adapter MAC ID. I then checked the Client List on the router it showed the GWU637 connected to the TiVo with max bars. Incidentally, the TiVo is about 75 feet from the router. That evening when I went to a streaming service, the selection process was faster and the show I selected streamed flawlessly.I tend to be very stingy giving a product 5 stars, but the IOGear GWU637 deserves it. I’m impressed!

This took me much longer to setup because I was not using internet Explorer.Windows 11 users must use internet Explorer, not edge, chrome, or another browser. New firmware fixes this, but this should be addressed prior to shipping.

Purchased GWU637 to connect an Ethernet-only device (through wireless) across a room to a D-Link DIR-890L tri-band router.The device could "see" the D-Link fine in the site survey (line of site, 50' away within a commercial shop).Every attempt made to connect was fruitless. The device provides absolutely no diagnostics when it cannot connect. No logs, no feedback, nothing at all. I contacted support through email and provided details with hopes of receiving some troubleshooting help. I had a very disappointing experience.The screenshot sent in was lost it seems by their ticketing system (they never mentioned that despite my reference to it), they dismissed my router as unsupported because I referred to it an "access point", and finally, they simply said this: "If it continues to state "NOT ACTIVE" then there could be some hardware incompatibility. "Again, I provided the brand and model of the wifi router and re-shared the screenshot with site survey results proving it visible. No further information was provided regarding what incompatibility they were referring to. The description of the device suggests it should connect to 2.4GHz networks with specific security protocol (such as AES/TKIP) support which were met by my router.Ironically, a customer satisfaction survey was sent today regarding the support experience associated with this device. I completed the survey and received an error message due to missing/incorrect SSL certificate on their own survey. I was unable to provide feedback and only wasted more of my time.My advice is to avoid this brand due to the lack of skilled support, the lack of care that surveys are broken, and most importantly the lack of available diagnostics to work a connectivity issue.

Works just like it should, I had some difficulty setting up via web browser and customer service was fantastic. If you have one touch device adding capabilities on your router it’s a breeze.
